Is it possible to use PHP to see files on the user's computer? And if not, is it possible to upload entire directories in a quick easy way? Thanks in advance.

Sadly, for security reasons (very rightly so) your answers are "No" and "No".
Unless you use a Java Applet which the user agrees to install then you cannot currently do those things.

then is it possible to transfer entire folders from another web directory not on my server? (it's probably no, right?)

You guessed it. Although you could use php to connect through ftp to transfer files
